Why you need to schedule your screening today: According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, about 48,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year. Historically the death rate associated with oral cancer is particularly high because the cancer is routinely discovered late in its development. 

While smoking and tobacco use continue to be major risk factors for oral cancer, young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals comprise the disease’s fastest growing segment of patients due to its connection to the HPV virus.
